| Luxman dealers @luxmancl38 He mentioned that his top two sellers during the close down were TT’s and phono stages. Interesting, and I suspect this says something about the demographics of those most into vinyl (teens of the 80s and 90s). They should in gene... | |

| Opinions on the current market Markets aren’t always equally as good for buyers and sellers. Liquidity of inventory is a major factor. Just look at periods of time or geographies that affect real estate. Tell me the time to sell your house was best in 2009 when prices were plun... | |
| Preamp with Phono $3-5k range I prefer separates in this regard as well as tubes. There are quite a few options these days used market that should check all your boxes. I suggest looking into Modwright and Allnic at this price point. | |
